Ingredients

3 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2.5 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon brown sugar
sea salt to taste
3 slices smoked bacon, cut into small strips, or to taste
4 tablespoons chicken broth, or more as needed

Instructions

Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients for this green bean dish.
Heat oil in a skillet over low heat. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add green beans and brown sugar to the skillet, then season with sea salt for added flavor.
Stir in the bacon pieces. Increase the heat to medium and continue to stir until everything is well combined.
Pour chicken broth into the pan, cover, and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally, adding more broth if needed to prevent sticking. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes. Stir, then uncover and simmer over low heat until the liquid has evaporated, approximately 10 minutes more. Serve hot and enjoy!
